the delay of the parade... which i'm sure you said in jest, as was my response.

The 6 Nations tournament is a big deal with us Brits, the real Irish people and the French. It's the last day of the tournament, all three matches are being played that morning and the Irish have a good chance of winning it this year. As you'd say in the States...do the math.

not that this is remotely even worth debating, but the st. patrick's day parade in new york city is one of the biggest days of the year in new york city... the biggest day of the year for real irish immigrants in new york, be they right off the boat or here for generations... 150,000 people marched last year and it's attended by millions and broadcasted on NBC.
